The Platform's Video Editor offers three different image-specific editing options. Using these tools, you can insert a watermark into your media content, blur portions of an image on your screen or add a virtual background. These changes will appear after the media has re-processed.
Inserting a Watermark or Overlay
Inserting a watermark enables you to brand your content and may be a desirable option if you intend to share content publicly.
- Choose Manage Media at the top of the screen, mouse over the desired media, and choose Edit.
- Set the Advanced Mode button to Yes.
- Click the Image Tools button and choose Insert Watermark/Overlay.
- Click Select File and choose an image. Click on Open.
- Select which Stream you wish the watermark to appear on, enter a Duration for the watermark and select Apply.
- Move the image to the desired position on the screen.
Blurring an Image
The Insert Blur Region tool enables you to blur all or a portion of an image shown on your screen or to fully blackout a portion of the media. This is an effective way to hide personal information or other unneeded content or to redact a portion of the media entirely.
- Choose Manage Media at the top of the screen, mouse over the desired media and choose Edit.
- Set the Advanced Mode button to Yes.
- Click the Image Tools button and choose Insert Blur/Blackout Region.
- Select which Stream you would like to blur and enter a Duration.
- Check the box for Blackout Entire Video to redact the entire screen, or leave unchecked to blur only a portion of the media.
- Select Apply.
- Click and drag to move the gray rectangle where you would like it to Blur a portion of the media.
- Select the corner of the gray rectangle and drag to cover the desired area. The gray rectangle will be replaced with a Blur Region in the media after saving.
Adding a Virtual Background
Applying a virtual background to any stream enables you to customize your video and maintain the privacy of your personal location.
- Choose Manage Media at the top of the screen, mouse over the desired media, and choose Edit.
- Set the Advanced Mode button to Yes.
- Click the Image Tools button and choose Add Virtual Background.
- Click Select File and choose an image from your clock device. Click on Open.
- Select which Stream you would like to add the virtual background to and click Apply.
